[quote]damn.. the great escape is further "away" then i thought Do you have compatibility mode set to Windows 98 in the properties of the FF7.exe? If that's not working, try Windows 95 Mode. As I recall, I had to keep messing with that compatibility mode setting every once in a while to get through a certain spot in the game. Unfortunately, the game just isn't completely 100% stable on an NTFS Partition, not to mention the game was poorly ported to PC to begin with... i tried all compatibility modes, but no luck :( the game keeps crashing as soon as i get out of the elevator (getting irritating too, nearest save point is on the first floor so have to do the whole thing over and over again) i even tried running FFVII in a microsoft virtual machine, but then it wont even start :? |

we should travel back in time a couple years and give them a kick in the butt and demand they make a decent PC version of FFVII and FFVIII ;) |

Mismatch, you could send me your saved game file and let me try to get through the elevator for you, then I'll quickly save afterwards (can't remember if there is a save point close by after you get off the elevators) send you the updated saved game file and you should then be able to continue on. In past times when playing this game on the PC, I haven't had a problem with crashing on the elevators so here's hoping I could get you through that part... If you'd like, that is. :) |

Hey Paradigm Shifter, were the steps that I wrote out for you helpful? Or are you still having issues running the game? |

would also love to play this again, as only ever played it on PS1. Never did complete it, always died on teh last battle. I think i was too eager to get to the end of the game and did not build my character up enough :) remember being on teh sick alot from work at the time this game was out :) many a 6am gaming session, very rare for me |
